She Outshines 206
Chapter 206
When Athena returned to Kitmore City, the celebration of Advent Sunday was almost over.
She really wanted toe back before Advent Sunday to celebrate Josie’s fifth birthday and spend
Advent Sunday with her entire family.
But there was nothing she could do.
The ruin that was discovered this time covered arge area and was at the bottom of the sea,
making the research very challenging. It was even more difficult to crack the prehistoric traps. In
addition, other organizations insisted on joining them after arriving, causing constant disputes along
the way. This dyed the research even further.
After the research ended, everyone was exhausted and in a tertiile state. She also took a few days
to rest before barely managing to regain her energy
She returned on a private jet and wasn’t sure when she would get home. It was only mentioned that
she would arrive on the afternoon or evening of the 3rd
At five o’clock in the afternoon, she first returned to her private apartment and dr Mid-Level
Mountain Garden.
On the way, it felt like everything was fine except for the traffic jams and the crowds.
But when she arrived at themunity gates, she sensed that something was off.
She thought, “It feels like someone is staring at me.
She slowed down the car, wound down the window, and looked around.
off her luggage before driving to
As it was a holiday, there were quite a lot of people and cars around. There were also a lot of
hidden spots.
The sky was slightly dark, and it affected visibility. She observed carefully for a while and did not
find anything, so she had no choice but to enter the neighborhood first.
Lights were already on in the main building of the vi. Faint sounds of the television and cheerful
voices could be heard. One could imagine how warm it was inside.
Athena was not in a hurry to greet anyone. Instead, she parked the car before walking toward the
main building.
The door to the main building was open.
She walked into the foyer and changed her shoes, smiling as she said, “Hi, everybody. I’m back.”
The initially lively living room instantly fell silent, leaving only the sound of the television.
Everyone turned to look at her all at once.
They then stood up in unison and walked over to wee her.
“Athena, you’re back! Have a seat and rest first. Your dad and I will bring out the food. We can start
eating shortly
“Wee back.
You’ve been away for so long this time. It must have been tough on you, right? Let me give you a
shoulder massage”
“Athena, drink some water.

“Have some blueberties Athena. They are sweet, tart, and really listy
It was Josie who rushed over first, presenting arge te of blueberries with both hands.
Athena took the te of blueberries with one hand and stroked Josie’s head with the other, saying,
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t make it back in time for your fifth birthday party”
“It’s alright.” Josie waved magnanimously. Tm still young. I can sill celebrate many more birthdays in
the future. Juste to my birthday party next time
“It’s a deal” Athena held her hand and walked into the living roum. As she sat down, she looked
around. “Ts Zayn not back
“Zayn could havee back before Advent Sunday, but one of the lead actors got injured and
needs about a week to recover, which dys the wrap-up.”
“Oh.” Athena nodded. “We should be able to celebrate Christmas together then.”
ric rubbed the side of his neck and sighed. “The whole family is here, except for Brandon. If only
he coulde back for Christmas”
The lively atmosphere instantly turned cold for a few seconds.
ric knew that he had created an awkward moment. He quickly patted his chest and looked at
Athena expectantly. “Athena, did you notice anything different when you entered earlier?”
The entire family looked at him from the corner of their eyes with an annoyed expression, thinking.
‘Here we go again
Athena smiled and yed along, saying, “I saw a new car in the garage. Whose new car is it?
ric blinked. “Make a guess.
Athena pretended to think seriously for a few seconds. “Maria’s workce is rather far. Is it a car
that you all bought for her?”
Maria pursed her lips and smiled. “Nope. I haven’t had time to learn how to drive yet.
Unable to hold back any longer, ric burst outughing. He raped his fist proudly. “Of course, it’s
my new car!”
Athena yed along again and asked, “Howe you have a new car? Did you win it in a tennis
tournament?”
The car was not bad. It was worth tens of thousands of dors.
Without waiting for ric to boast, Arthur kicked him in frustration. “He must’ve had some ridiculous
luck. Not long after joining the tennis club, a fewpanies took a liking to him and insisted on
signing him as their spokesperson in advance…”
Arthur said something that ric wanted to say, so ric hurried to show off even faster, saying,
“Well, what can I say? I’m tall, handsome, and have a great image! The club held aworking
event. When the clients saw my confident appearance while ying tennis, they praised me
endlessly and said I would definitely have great achievements in the future. They wanted to seize
the opportunity to sign me before I be famous, lest I be too expensive to sign in the
future.”
At this point, he pulled out his chest and raised his chin, looking like he was waiting for praise.
The endorsement fee they gave me was quite high, he continued. “The club was very happy and
decided to reward me with
a car so that I could drive to the club to train or participate inpetitions in the future.”
“What’s with the smugness” Arthur gave him another kick. “You have to achieve good results to
actually earn that endorsement money. Otherwise, you’ll still be broke.”
“Tsk, I knew you were jealous of me.” ric made a face at him. “You’re short and petty. Nyah,
nyah, nyah!”

The male siblings of the Dogovan family were all above & Fert if inches tall.
However, Arthur was exactly 3 feet 10 inches tall, making him the shortest. ric was 6 feet 2
inches tall, making him the
tallest.
The issue of height was brought up, and Arthur looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
He then rolled up his sleeves. “If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll forget that you’re the youngest
boy in the family!”
The two of them started chasing each other and roughhousing in the living room again, making
everyone shake their heads as they watched.
When three women got together, it was bound to be a lively conversation, but in their family, two
men equal a ruckus
Athena retracted her gaze and looked at Josie’s head, asking curiously, “Josie, did you get a
haircut?”
Josie’s previous hairstyle was a doll-like cut with blunt bangs, and her hair length just covered her
ears.
Now, her hair was noticeably cut shorter,
“It’s Sasha’s fault!” she said.
Speaking of this Josie’s chubby cheeks puffed up, looking quite angry.
“The school held an Advent Sunday party. The children all said my singing was the best. Many
people voted for me. I got first ce while Sasha got second. Sasha was mad and insisted fluit her
singing was the best, demanding that I give up my first ce. I refused, and then she took a candle
and tried to burn my hair!” N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
Athena frowned upon hearing that. “What she did was really dangerous. She could easily hurt you.
Didn’t the teacher care?
Sasha doesn’t know her limits and is unreasonable, she thought It’s a bit dangerous
Josie tugged at her hair and said in a somewhat aggrieved manner. “The teacher criticized Sasha
Sasha apologized to me, and her butler also apologized to me, but I feel that she will still bully me in
the future.
Athena patted her head and said seriously, “You’ve had a tough time. Sasha could really hurt you.
You must stay far away from her in the future. Try not to get into a conflict with her. If there is a
conflict, you must protect yourself
“Okay.” Josie nodded obediently. “Sasha and I were in the same ss, but she kept bullying me, so
the teacher moved me to the Bunny ss. We hardly argue now!
Athena asked again, “Do you want us to switch you to another school?”
Josie thought for a moment and said, “I don’t like Sasha, but I’ve made a lot of friends in
kindergarten: I can’t bear to be separated from them.”
Athena knew that frequent moving and changing of environments could be detrimental for children
when it came to making friends and could lead to ack of security.
So, she did not say much and simply said, “Alright, if Sasha crosses the line again and bullies you,
just let me know. I have a way to deal with her.”
She thour
thought, “Sasha seems toe from a well-off family. To deal with tough people, you need
someone tougher. To handle wealthy people, you need someone even wealthier. This kind of thing
is best left to me.
At this moment, Wesley’s voice came from the kitchen. The food is ready. Come over and let’s dig in
It was time for a happy dinner.
With the delicious home-cooked meal in front of them, nothing could divert the family’s attention.
